With Her Aunt's Suitor.
Miss Eva Dennison, daughter of
Postmaster and Mrs. George Dennison

ment was the outcome. Postmaster
Dennison at once notified the New
York police and when the couple
alighted from the train at Jersey City

er is 27 years old.
Dennison
has now changed
her
mind about marrying Hottinger and
is glad to get back home. The elope-
ment took place on Wednesday.
